I will continue to eat and enjoy the Marvel cookie cutter films because cookies are good (no matter what kind they are).

It’s really hard to comment too much on this, because following these rumors is as difficult as following the plot in BvS.

After three missteps in Man of Steel, BvS, and Suicide Squad, WB should have taken the box office success and critical acclaim of Wonder Woman to heart. They should have realized that trying to get Marvel’s numbers without emulating Marvel’s method was pointless, and used Wonder Woman as a first step in a new…

I love both The Phantom and The Shadow because I went to see them with my dad and he was a huge fan of both of the characters as a kid. They’re campy as hell, but I was 12 and he loved them so they bring up good memories for me.

I suggested above attempting some degree of a tweetstorm at Diane Nelson. So I’ll put her twitter address in a reply to you as well. I hope some will join the one I’ve sent already.

It’s become pretty clear that Bruce Timm is a pretty big pervert when it comes to the opposite sex.

The Judas Contract one from the spring was pretty good. Timm wasn’t involved with that.

I saw this yesterday and I agree it was horrible. Killing Joke had some dumb crap in it to pad its running time but this one was so stupid. The plot made no sense, Harley didn’t know where Poison Ivy and Woodrue were but Batman and Nightwing needed her anyway? The Harley sings portion was stupid. The potential rape of…

My mouth is literally hanging open in disbelief. Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea? Especially after Killing Joke???

I’m super pumped about this. I’m a huge Ray fan. I’d prefer the 90s version of the character, but I do love a good alternate timeline story.

If WB can make the effort to cast VAs who can mimic and replicate the voices of the classic Looney Toons characters (ok, Sam has been hit or miss, but his voice was hard even on Mel Blanc) it wouldn’t have killed Disney to do the same for Scrooge and the Nephews, the latter of whom have EIGHTY YEARS of shorts and…

No, it is called centuries of oppression by European colonizers trying to commit cultural genocide angainst First Nations people by, among other things, boiling hundreds of different identities into one generic “Native” identity that is then easier to control and dismiss.

You... seem to believe your comment is a counter-argument to CPMs piece about patterns in the genre re:black characters.

Just a hypothesis, but- in the Superhero genre there is an old division of heroes into classes like Brick, Energy Projector, Martial Artist.

It’s a conversation. Why does that bother you?

Because there’s a long history of white dudes being over-represented in geekdom both as creators and the subject of content, and meanwhile geekdom itself is (happily) becoming increasingly diverse and/or recognizing its own diversity; which, in turn, leads to legitimate questions about the history of…

Because superhero’s are so inundated into today’s culture that you can’t help but shine the light on them. Just like the “fridging of women” in the Marvel universe showing there is more of an issue for our culture. Keeping troupes like this around could be reinforcing certain stereotypes...

Taking a moment to pay tribute to the coolest of them all, Electron Boy:

I have this pet theory that exposure to the monolith is what caused HAL to go berserk. It wasn't a glitch like everybody believes, but rather that HAL was undergoing his own form of evolution, namely, becoming sentient. No longer just a thinking machine, he became a newly self-realized living consciousness with…

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed there's a trend on io9 to make absolute declarations about the future. That's interesting as a hook for an article title, but isn't it a bit contrary to the nature of science and science fiction?
